An Elaborate Weapon.

The most superb sword that has
been given to an officer of the United
States Army since that presented by
Congress to Gen. Twiggs was that
given yesterday by the people Of Ar
iona to Gen. Nelson A. Miles, COM
handing that department The blade
is of the finest Spanish steel, and SO
perfectly tempered is it that it can be
double almost from hilt to point with
out injuring it in the least. 1t is the
finest sword blade in America, al
though Gen. S. V. Benet, Chief of
Ordnance, has a blade, which was
presented to him, from the same
workman in Spain almost as fine in
temper. The scabbard of this sword
is of the finest solid gold. One side
bears the inscription of the p~resenta-
ton while the other is engraved with
the following pictures from Arizona
life: Scene first is the San Carlos
Agency, the Apachesi in ordinary life.
The second illustrates military move
ments, troops in pursuit of Geronimo
and his band. The third is the fight
between the Indians and troops, and
the fourth depicts their capture. At
the the bottom of the scabbard is a
wonderfully accurate engraving of
Geronimo, with his hat on, just as he
appeared when hesurrenderedt to Gen.
Miles. The hilt of this sword is of
white sharkskin, braided in gold,
and the guard, of the same metal, is
a beautiful picture illustrated of the
mounted and unmOunted arms of the
service. One of the most beautiful
features of this weapon is an enor-
nous moonstone amethyst, which
forms the end of the hilt and just
above it is the head of Nachez, old
Cochise's warrior son, engraved in
gold. At the special request of the
donors, Tiffany & Company, of New
York, who furnished thismagnificent
sword, refuse to say what it cost, but
its value, not counting the jewels, is
between ten and twelve thousand dol.
lars. 1t is a token of esteem and re.
gard to Gen. Miles from the people OF
Arizona that he may well be proud
of.

THIS GOOD OLD STANDBY

This GOOD OLD STANDBY
accomplishes for everybody exactly what is clalmed
FORT. One Of the reasons for the great popularity of
the Mustang Liniment is found in Its universal
applicability. Everybody needs such n medicine.
The Lumbermnn needs 1t In case of accident.
The Housewife needs 1t for generalfamily use,
The Gambler needs 1t for his teams and his men.
The Mechanic needs It always on his work
bench.
The Miner needs 1t in case Of emergency.
The Pioneer needsit-can get along without II.
The Farmer needs 1t in his house, his stable,
and his stock yard.
The Steamboat man or the BOatman needs
1t in liberal supply afoatand ashore.
The HOrse-fancier needs it-it is his best
friend and safest reliance.
The StOck-grOwer needs tilt will save him
thousands of dollars and o world OF trouble.
The Railroad man needs 1t and VIII need 1t 81
long as his life is q round Of accidents and dangers.
The BnckwoOdsman needs 1t. There Is moth
ing like 1t as an antidote for the dangers to life,
limb and comfort which surround the pioneer.
The Merchant needs 1t about his store among
his employees. Accidents will happen, and when
these come the Mustang Eminent is wanted atonce.

An Old Opinion.

There is in the British Museum an
old volume of bound pamphlets pre-
sented by King George I'LL, in which
is the following passage GA drunk
ard is the annoyance of modesty !;
the trouble of civility the spoil of
wealth; the distraction of reason. He
is the brewers agent the tavern and
alehouse %benefactor; the beggar's
companion the %constable's trouble.
He is his wife's woe; his children's
sorrow; his neighbor's scott; his own
shame. In summer he is a tub of
swill, a spirit Of sleep, a picture of a
beast, and a monster off man."

Summers Poverty.

Cosmopolitan,
MI. Sumner always lived within
his income and never incurred q debt
that he had not the means of
paying at the time it became due.
Within his income he was first Just,
then generous. During his first
term in the Senate he was dependent
upon his pay as Senator and a little
copyright money for his support, al
though during a portion of that time
he added somewhat to his income by
lectures. In his latter days, however,
he was rendered somewhat easier in
circumstances by a small fortune that
came to him from the successive
death of several relatives. For much
Of his life he was a poor man in
straitened circumstances, but ne
would never be obliged to any one
for anything but kindness. He would
not allow another topay any expense
that he incurred, not even a horse
car fare. In stamping during the
presidential election he would never
allow the Congressman in whose dis
trict he spoke, and who was to be
benefited most by his efforts, to pay
even his railroad fare. He was no
gift-taker; he would interchange
gifts as well as kind offices with 9TH
ers, but the balance of the obligation
was never allowed to remain on his
side. His generosity to the servants
of the houses in which he lived was
proverbial. Sam Ward said that he
lived like a pauper but he gave like
a king. No one can wonder that the
servants even temporarily in his en-
ploy were attached to him when his
consideration for, as well as his gen.
erOsity to them, is fully understood.
But with all he kept within his in
come, barely, it may be, but still

OF the United States are in a condition
superior TO that attained In the most
fortunate countries Of the Old World
is beyond dispute. Their advantages
are drawn from the abundant resour-
ces of territory In which there are
still wide tracts not yet brought under

ofthe United State have more than the
mere negative merit Of not having
